Global South Deprivation Reveals Western Values

We know that the poverty and the strife in our lands is not the product of Islamic values, but the direct consequence of Western values and Western imperialism. They're the fruits of a century or more of exploitation and oppression that your values let you do. The very chaos that they point to is a testament to the destructive power of their own values, not ours. No. Islam never failed us.

It's the interference and the domination by Western powers that have brought us to this point. The same values that led them to enslave and rape and pillage and plunder and to exterminate indigenous peoples and wage endless wars of conquest and colonization, those are the values that have scarred our lands, not ours. But because of Islam, we bounced back. Oh, yes. We took the blows, but we never fell.

And don't let anyone ever tell you that we did. Islam is stronger today in the Muslim world than it was fifty years ago, and it's spreading faster in the land of the colonizers than anywhere else.
